[QUOTE="oklaccer, post: 1375592, member: 6156"] I must respectfully disagree with your statement. I have spent time in the 3 major ways of flight. 8 years military, 7 years airline and the past 9 years corporate, with a smattering of Instruction and Charter thrown in. I know there are corporate/charter owners that push the crews to fly, regardless. But they are a DYING breed and many pilots move on right then and there. I was put in that situation once by a charter company, it was my last day working for that owner. The airline philosophy was, if it was legal, you go. Most corporate owners that invest millions in their airplanes and use it as a business tool are not ready to risk that investment when the pro in the front seat recommends against it. So while your statement may be true in a very limited segment of the community, the majority of operators "understand". [/QUOTE]
